Blown Turbo or oil seal

Nineforever · June 20, 2015, 07:46:30 PM

Was just about back in the yard about 20 miles from home today , was looking out my drivers side mirror all of the sudden it started to blow blue smoke out the exhaust pipe big time smoke show i dropped my speed and continued towards home closely watching the engine temperature and oil pressure i lost a bit of oil pressure engine seemed to run fine but significant loss of power .
After pulling into the yard and shutting down i notice about 2 litres of oil drain out the exhaust pipe and oil seeping out the turbo .
Did the turbo fail

Actually hopefully...that's an easier fix than many.

I suppose in a twisted demented fashion you are lucky. One thousand years from now you could have just easily blown a major plasma conduit to the main matter anti matter power converter. Instant major fireball. No survivors. And if it had happened in Warp, we would NEVER have found ANY pieces. Just me. HB of CJ (old silly coot)

Take off the air intake/filter assembly and check the turbo. Check it for side to side play/messed up fins, and make sure it can spin on its own.

If the part of the turbo shaft and the impeller are missing you will have to pull your muffler. It WILL wear a hole in your exhaust wherever it is.

The oil seal failed the fins on both sides seem fine but ill change complete turbo, exhaust and intake side . Original equipment available threw Wajax Power Systems in Edmonton There the official MUI dealer here in Canada $ 2152.00 plus the core 450.00 .

A little pricey turbo, Turbo Resource in Lake Havasu Az will exchange it for 600 Tom the owner is the guy that set up the turbo rebuilding unit for Detroit.Shipping into Canada could be a problem I don't seem to have much luck with shipping to Canada
